Ingredients

For the quick tartar sauce:
1 cup mayonnaise
1 cup minced pickles, about two small pickles diced
Juice from 1/2 lemon
Pinch of salt and pepper
DAD ADD: Chili Malt Vinegar
1/4 cup malt vinegar
1 tablespoon chili oil
For the fish fingers:
1 pound firm, skinless white fish, such as cod, pollack, or haddock (ask the fishmonger to skin the fish, if needed)
1 cup all-purpose flour
3 large eggs, whisked
2 cups panko breadcrumbs
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
2 cups vegetable oil, for frying

Steps:

Make the chili malt vinegar: Stir the malt vinegar and chili oil together in a small bowl. You can use the mix as a dip for fish sticks or French fries or also lightly brush it on freshly fried fish sticks.
Heat the oil: Over medium heat, heat enough oil in a skillet to fill the the skillet about 1 1/2- to 2-inches deep. (I use about two cups of oil in my large skillet.) The oil doesn't need to completely cover the fish sticks. The oil is ready when you can add a few breadcrumbs and they sizzle immediately and float to the top.

Ingredients

1/4 cup mayonnaise
2 tablespoons plain Greek yogurt
1 tablespoon chopped fresh chives
2 teaspoons chopped fresh dill weed
1 teaspoon grated lemon peel
2 teaspoons fresh lemon juice
1 clove garlic, finely chopped
1/2 cup Gold Medal™ all-purpose flour
Salt and pepper
Paprika
1 egg
1/4 cup milk
Several dashes hot sauce
1 1/2 cups Progresso™ panko crispy bread crumbs
1 lb cod fillets, cut into sticks
Canola oil for frying

Steps:

In small bowl, stir together Lemon-Herb Aioli ingredients. Cover with plastic wrap; refrigerate until ready to serve.
Gather 3 wide, shallow dishes. In first dish, stir together flour, dash salt, dash pepper and dash paprika. In second dish, beat egg, milk and hot sauce with whisk. In last dish, stir together bread crumbs, dash salt, dash pepper and dash paprika.
Coat fish sticks with seasoned flour, dip into egg mixture to coat, and then bread crumb mixture, pressing bread crumbs into fish if needed. Place on plate; repeat with remaining fish until all are coated.
Heat 10-inch cast-iron or nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Fill skillet with 1/4 to 1/2 inch of oil (enough to reach halfway up sides of fish pieces). Once oil is hot, fry fish sticks in batches, a few minutes on each side, until golden brown, crisp and fish feels firm. Drain on paper towel-lined plate. Repeat with remaining fish. Serve with aioli and if desired, lemon wedges.
